Step back in time with this image of the University of Chicago campus, possibly from the 1920s, as depicted in a vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The Edwardian and Victorian architectural styles, characteristic of the early 20th century in America, are prominently featured in this photograph, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the university during that era. The University of Chicago, located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1890 and quickly rose to prominence as a leading research institution. This photograph captures the essence of the university during a time when groundbreaking discoveries and innovations were shaping the American landscape. The image presents a panoramic view of the campus, with the main quadrangle at the center, flanked by buildings adorned with intricate stonework, red-tiled roofs, and tall, ornate chimneys. The trees on the campus are in full autumn splendor, their leaves displaying a rich palette of reds, oranges, and yellows. The clear blue sky and the sun casting long shadows add to the serene and picturesque scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of the University of Chicago, offering a glimpse into the past and providing a connection to the university's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our history and the role that institutions of higher learning play in shaping our world.
